'm absolutely not but i don't think you can go up to harlem or the south bronx or you're working in a school, especially, though, in new york where we have charters, public charters that work and you have unions that are placing caps on it and seeing kids trapped in the south bronx and harlem and brooklyn. i don't know how you don't look at that situation and say, it's immoral. >> well, the unions aren't controlling the outcomes here. now, they have a concern that is legitimate which is -- this is a historic concern and all educational systems is where are the resources going? we used to see resources distributed in this country in many ways according to race and certain neighborhoods because of that, harlem used to not get anything because it was harlem and the black section an the other sections would get more resources. we saw that. and then there were intervent n interventions, very crude attempted like school bussing and things like that to correct that sort of thing and so the issue with charters now is, if we shift those resources to charters, what happens back here in this school? i

the reputed success of the harlem children zone, which is a holistics program, as some of you know, which deals with mothers when they are pregnant. it has preschool and pre-preschool. it has counseling, health care. it is reasonably well funded. obama pushed for this and during the campaign of 2008 and since. i mentioned this as a promising doufment. a promising development. what is happening there requires massive resources. it is very hard to duplicate to keep up. a lot of fundraising takes place all the time. the teachers work hard and there is the possibility of burnout. so whether a massive expansion of programs such as that will really happen or make an enormous difference is hard to say. my final point is that government cannot stop people from having children. so i conclude, i guess, as mr. klegg does, by saying i don't know what the answer to this problem is because it is both economic and cultural. because it is international, and because it is especially problematic for blacks. let me finish with a quote. this is from the white social scientists christopher jennings and he wil
